DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act

    On May 3, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a Consent Decree 
with defendant Buckingham County Board of Supervisors on behalf of 
Buckingham County, a political sub-division of the Commonwealth of 
Virginia (``Buckingham County'') in the United States District Court 
for the Western District of Virginia. The Consent Decree resolves a 
claim under Section 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607, for past 
and future response costs incurred in connection with the release of 
hazardous substances at the Buckingham County Landfill Superfund Site 
(``Site''), located in Dillwyn, Buckingham County, Virginia. The 
Complaint filed concurrently with the Consent Decree alleges that 
Buckingham County, who is the current owner of the Site, is liable for 
all costs of removal or remedial action incurred by the United States 
Government. The proposed Consent Decree obligates Buckingham County to 
reimburse $125,000 of the United States' past response costs.
